Retiree Test and Tune
Posted: Thu Dec 10, 2015 6:38 pmWe are members of an HO racing group herein the Tri State Area of the Upper Ohio Valley . There are several of us retired and we take the opportunity to have impromptu tests and tunes and sometimes some informal races during the week .
Today we had a test and tune session at John Egan's track in Weirton , WVa. . Those attending were Stumpy Stone , Bob Young , John Egan and Tom DeLauder . Stumpy Stone gave a demo on "slot less racing" with a small portable track . I must say it was very interesting . John Egan presented his small bull ring oval mounted on a 2'' foam platform . It worked flawlessly . We all tested and tuned Stock and Fairground T-Jets on his road course and his oval .
We had all of this fun and food too . John served Pizza and soft drinks for lunch . Thank you John for hosting .
Our group consists of a core base of 10 racers and have 4 tracks as venues for our racing . They are Mr. 12 Tooth's : The Badlands in Pittsburgh , Pa , Jim's Buffington's Raceway in Monaca , Pa . , John Egan's : Riverview Raceway in Weirton , WVa. and Tom DeLauder's : Monkey Wrench Speedway in Wellsville , Ohio .
I'm also sending out a thank you to HRW for allowing us to post on this bulletin board . Anyone interested in racing T-Jets and Magna Tractions in our area , PM me for more details .
